Young Fives is designed for children who would be young in a kindergarten class or need more time to develop academically and socially – a gift of time. It gives them an extra year to grow and master the skills necessary to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. All of God’s children develop at their own pace and Young Fives allows them to gain confidence before they begin their academic journey from kindergarten through 8th grade.

  • Monday *, Wednesday, & Friday: 7:45-2:30


*If you are looking for a full-time class, there is an option to join the Tuesday & Thursday all-day preschool.
